Bicycle Friendly Bellevue On The Way l Bellevue Bicycle Lawyer

Posted on Oct 02, 2009The City of Bellevue Council passed a bike and pedestrian plan recently to improve bike access to the downtown area. The plan calls for the addition of 80 miles of bike lanes, 90 miles of sidewalks, and 20 miles of trial improvements.

Bellevue streets are difficult for bikers to navigate. They have very little shoulder and were not designed with bicycle riders in mind. The neighborhoods are also a challenge for bikers. They do not have a grid pattern like Seattle, but can wind around and sometimes end in cul-de-sacs.

Bellevue new bicycle plan is a new shift in thinking for the city and hopefully will help as urban growth continues in the downtown core.
